Study Day + Acting Out: Stephen Dwoskin film screening
\n<\/strong>Saturday 12 February 2022 12:00\u00a0<\/span>NFT3<\/p>\n

An introduction to Dwoskin through talks, a keynote presentation by Adrian Martin plus a screening of Acting Out: Stephen Dwoskin, a film by artist Philom\u00e8ne Ho\u00ebl.<\/p>\n

Dwoskin\u2019s career, not only as a filmmaker but as a painter, designer, writer, and campaigner, cut across many central questions of the era: disability, sexuality, diaspora, and technology \u2013 especially technologies of memory. On his death in 2012 he left behind an extraordinarily rich archive, which for more than three years has been the focus of a multi-institutional research team based at the University of Reading.<\/p>\n

This Study Day will include presentations from in and outside the project, culminating in a keynote talk from critic Adrian Martin.<\/p>\n

The Study Day will be followed by the first live screening of Acting Out: Stephen Dwoskin, a film by artist Philom\u00e8ne Ho\u00ebl starring researchers Henry K. Miller and Darragh O\u2019Donoghue.<\/p>\n

Study Day 12pm to 4pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

These talks will introduce Dwoskin from a variety of perspectives, addressing such key themes in his work as disability, diaspora, and memory, and drawing on new research in the Dwoskin archive. The day will include a keynote talk from critic and audiovisual essayist Adrian Martin, on Dwoskin\u2019s project of \u2018a complex, hybrid cinema, in which disorientation is a major source of pleasure\u2019.<\/p>\n

Disorientation, on every level, is a powerful and disconcerting force in the work of Stephen Dwoskin. Focussing on the feature-length films he made in the 1970s, this talk will explore the productive tension (as identified by Raymond Durgnat in the \u201980s) between Dwoskin’s rigorous \u2018plastic aesthetics\u2019 (of space, colour, composition, etc.) and his remarkable experimentation with narrative forms. Today, artists who work in a similar way are frequently told that their films would best \u2018fit into an art gallery context\u2019. Yet Dwoskin, in his time, held on to the project of a complex, hybrid cinema, in which disorientation is a major source of pleasure.<\/p>\n

Film Screening 4pm to 5pm
\n<\/strong>Acting Out: Stephen Dwoskin (dir. Philom\u00e8ne Ho\u00ebl, 2020)<\/p>\n

The day will end with the first in-person screening of artist Philom\u00e8ne Ho\u00ebl\u2019s film Acting Out: Stephen Dwoskin, in which \u2018Ho\u00ebl plays a high-wire game with her fellow researchers, exploring the nature of their mutual obsession; filmmaker Stephen Dwoskin, whose life and fictive world bleeds into their encounter through a series of interventions in disconcerting and hilarious ways\u2019 (Ben Cook).<\/p>\n

Experimenta focus: Stephen Dwoskin season<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A unique and challenging filmmaker whose themes include disability, sexuality, diaspora, and memory.<\/p>\n

Stephen Dwoskin arrived in London from New York in 1964, aged 25, with a trunk of 16mm films shot in the milieu of Andy Warhol and Jonas Mekas. He became known for a series of films in which the camera\u2019s unblinking gaze is returned by his female subjects. Laura Mulvey wrote that he \u2018opened a completely new perspective for me on cinematic voyeurism\u2019. In the mid-70s, Dwoskin turned his gaze on his own body, disabled in childhood by polio, before making a number of personal documentaries about disability and diaspora. In the 2000s, with his mobility severely impaired, he embraced the possibilities of digital technology to return to the underground and the erotic obsessions that powered his extraordinary 50-year career.<\/p>\n
